Earth People, Today is Winter Solstice a important day to some. Is anyone celebrating? I'm having a holiday party at my new neighbors tonight. I don't think they even know or care. JC, how's your photovoltic power cells doing? Take Care, Adam Hintz |

We're celebrating tomorrow with a yule gift exchange and a ham dinner. So happy Dead Sun day! (or is it reborn?) |

I am glad that it is only going to get lighter again after this. I hate this dark and dreary time of year. It makes me depressed. |

yeah, being forced to spend so much time inside makes me a little crazy. Plus, I hate Christmas. ...though I do like the idea of worshipping trees, it pisses me off that people kill them just to bring them inside and decorate them. The consumerism frenzy that surrounds the holiday is such a pain as well. This is my Christmas tree. It's a live tree, so it will continue to thrive and grow under my care after the holidays. I haven't named it yet because I just bought it this week. (I name all my indoor plants, don't ask). When it gets to be too big for my apartment, I am going to plant it in a forest somewhere.  I might call it Spunky, because he has spunky hair. |
